Don't downvote submissions. If there is a submission you feel is inappropriate (posted in wrong subreddit, not a challenge submission, etc.), please report it to a mod and it will be considered for removal.

If you dislike a picture, let the poster know through constructive criticism. If you like a picture, upvote it and if so inclined, let them know why. As I'm sure you all know, people love to be praised for their work.

FAQ

What happens if I win?

If you have the most upvotes at the end of the voting period, you get to pick the next challenge. On occasion, there will also be other prizes of actual value.

What is the current challenge?

The current challenge can be found in the page title if you can't find the post. It is also now featured in the red boxes at the top of the page.

How should I post pictures?

Submit pictures as a link with the title "#challenge number: Picture title". Leaving the "#challenge number" out of the title of your submission will cause the compiler that we use to create the candidates post to NOT include your submission.

Rules For Posting

All submissions must be your own original work. Submitting pictures taken by others is NOT allowed.

Pictures must be taken during the time frame of the challenge.

You must submit pictures from these sites:

Flickr

Picasa

min.us

smugmug

playlookit.com

500px.com

DeviantArt.com

Google Plus

Please do not post pictures that link back to sites where the picture can be purchased; that's not what we're about here, and such posts will be deleted. Don't make us be mean.

Please label NSFW pictures as such

Please only submit one picture for each challenge. If, after submitting your first submission, you have another one you'd rather post instead, message the moderators and we'll remove your first post. Don't remove the submission yourself or you might run afoul of the spam filter.

If you submit multiple submission without messaging a moderator, any submissions after your first will be removed.

Do not upvote your own submissions from an alternate account. That goes completely against the spirit of what we're all here for.

Please put your challenge idea in the comments of your submission. This will enable us to quickly post the next challenge once we've determined the winning submissions. Failure to do this, or to respond in a timely manner when asked for your challenge, may result in forfeiture of your chance to choose a challenge topic.

This week's challenge comes from the winner of Challenge #95, RyanoRhino.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday this will be a two-week challenge.

Please take a moment to read through the challenge before making your submission:

Pictures must be submitted from Flickr, Picasa, min.us, smugmug, 500px.com, deviantart.com or playlookit.com so the mods can confirm that the picture is in compliance with the rules.

Whichever site you choose to host your pictures, please make sure you've chosen to allow people to view the EXIF data for your picture so we can verify the date. Any submissions without this available are subject to being removed.

Pictures are not to have been taken prior to Monday, November 19th, or after Sunday, December 2nd. Submissions that were not taken between those dates will be removed.

As there's a holiday this week (at least in the US) we may consider extending the challenge an additional week, depending on how many submissions we receive as the week progresses.

Submissions should be posted by 7:30am EST on Monday, December 3rd. Posts made after this time will not be included in the Candidate's Post.

Post your pictures as links with the title "#97: picture title". If the submission doesn't follow this format the script that we use to compile the Candidate's Post won't include it.

Do not upvote your own submissions from alternate accounts. That goes totally against the spirit of what this subreddit is about.

Please post your challenge topic as a comment in your submission. This will enable us to quickly post the next challenge once we've determined the winning submissions. Failure to do this, or to respond in a timely manner when asked for your challenge, may result in forfeiture of your chance to choose a challenge topic.
